The singer released his debut album ‘In The Lonely Hour’ back in 2014. The record made chart history, selling more in the US in one week than any other UK male singer over the past 23 years. It was also the fastest selling debut album of 2014 in the UK.

Smith has now posted a photo of himself holding a vinyl copy of his new single to Twitter, revealing that the track is out on Friday (September 8). “So excited for you to hear the new single,” he added.

Sam Smith recently sent an email to fans with an update on the progress of new music. “First of all I want to say thank you,” he said. “Thank you for being so patient and for letting me have the past year to really escape into my mind & write music so freely. I feel so rejuvenated and have so many stories I can’t wait to tell you.”

He continued: “The wait is so nearly over. Something is coming very very very very soon. I am scared & excited at the same time. I’ve poured my soul & heart into this record.”
